Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey [hh/sems]
The National Statistical Office (NSO) first conducted the Household Socio-economic Survey in 1957 and repeatedly organised the survey round every five years. Due to the rapid economic expansion and the social change, during 1987 and 2004 the survey was conducted every two years, and from 2006 onwards NSO has carried out the survey every year. The 2007 SES survey is the 19 round of this kind.
The objective of the survey is to collect the detailed information on economics and social matters of the household such as income, expenditures, assets, liabilities, structure of household members, housing characteristics, migration and remittance transfer as well as the information on access to social welfare/government program and public services.

Sampling
Sample Design
A Stratified Two-stage Sampling was adopted for the survey. Provinces were considered to be constituted strata. There were altogether 76 strata, each stratum was divided into two parts according to the type of local administration, namely, municipal areas, and non-municipal areas.
-
Selection of Primary Sampling Units
The sample selection of blocks/villages was performed separately and independently in each part by using probability proportional to the total number of households in that block or village. -
Selection of Secondary Sampling Units
In this stage, private households were the ultimate sampling units. Households in every sample block and village were listed to serve as the sampling frame then the set of households was rearranged by size of household (classified by number of household members) and type of economic household (determined on the basis of the occupation type which produces the highest income in the household).
Finally private sampled households were selected by using the systematic method in each type of local administration with the following sample sizes :
(1) 15 households from each of sample blocks in municipal areas
(2) 10 households from each of sample villages in non-municipal areas
The total number of private sampled households for the whole year were 51,970 households.
Survey instrument
Two types of questionnaires were used; the core module (the questionnaire of household members and expenditures) which is used to collect the data every year, and the special module (the questionnaire of household income) which is conducted every two years.
